Outlandishly, I'll be discussing this research (& other things) on Front Row this evening with Samira Ahmed, Tessa Hadley, Kamila Shamsie, Harriet Walter, & John Mullan. Unless I end up on the cutting room floor, which given the company would be entirely understandable. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

My idea of good company, Mr Elliot, is the company of clever, well-informed people, who have a great deal of conversation; that is what I call good company.

250 years ago today, #JaneAusten was born. She was a writer known primarily for her six novels. Her use of irony, humour and social commentary, have long earned her acclaim among scholars. She remains one of the most successful writers of all times. WE LOVE YOU JANE AUSTEN! 🎉🎉

Happy 250th anniversary to the greatest author who has ever lived. It’s only two days before my viva anniversary and I can’t think of anyone else I would rather have spent four years with - and many others before and since. Here’s to many more years of having fun with Austen 🥳

There are very few books that Jane Austen is known to have owned, making this one at the UL incredibly special. We're delighted to show it to you today, on her 250th birthday!

Welcome to my new blig Jane Austen Powers! For the first post i interview Dr.Helena Kelly! open.substack.com/pub/janeaust...
It is a Truth Universally Acknowledged that a Janeite with a Passion Must be in Want of an Interview with the excellent Dr. Helena Kelly!
You allude to Austen’s life on the precipices of different ‘worlds’ e.g., class, how do you feel this affected and enhanced her writing?

I've been working all day - once more - on this murder mystery podcast (not true crime; a serialised, semi-interactive audio novel). I think this is going to be one of the best things I have begged the general public to engage with, over the years. Will begin in the weekend November 28-30.

This is one of the best biographies of a writer that I have read. Grace Metalious was a 1950s American housewife who wrote a novel loosely based on the residents of her New Hampshire. That book was called Peyton Place and it became the best-selling American novel of all time for a while.
